On March 27th, the highly anticipated Tampa RiverWalk officially opened. 40 years in the making and 6 mayor's later, The Riverwalk is a reality. Despite the rain, many still showed up. We took a stroll on the Riverwalk this past weekend and came away really impressed. The Riverwalk stretches 1.8 miles, covering the downtown with a continuous walkable and bikeable path all the way to Harbor Island. The new Riverwalk affords locals and tourist an easy access pathway to local landmarks, parks, bars, hotels and venues with unparalleled views along the way. The second phase of the Riverwalk is scheduled for April 2016. The City of Tampa plans for the Riverwalk to continue and connect Downtowns Straz Theater to Waterworks Park. When complete the pathway will be roughly 2.5 miles long.
